Helvetia & Bristol Firenze

The Helvetia & Bristol is situated in the heart of the historic center of Florence, opposite the city's celebrated Palazzo Strozzi, the masterpiece of Florentine renaissance architecture which now hosts some of the world's most important itinerant art exhibitions.

This exclusive 5 star luxury hotel has 67 supremely elegant bedrooms and suites, all sumptuously furnished with unique items of period furniture, and decorated with Chinese porcelain and bronze lamps, silk curtains, gossamer lace and brocade. Bathrooms feature the finest Carrara marble and Jacuzzi baths. The fifth floor suites offer spectacular views of the cathedral and Brunelleschi's legendary dome. The public rooms retain much of the atmosphere of the hotel's illustrious past, when the hotel was a preferred meeting point of Italian artists, writers and local Florentine aristocracy. Guests relax in plush velvet sofas and armchairs, contemplating walls hung with priceless 17th century oil Tuscan paintings.

The H&B Hostaria Bibendum Bar and Restaurant combines impeccable and refined service with the requirements of contemporary dining, be it a business lunch or informal dinner. The finest Mediterranean cuisine is prepared using only the highest quality ingredients, offering guests a truly memorable gastronomic experience. The Helvetia & Bristol is truly cosmopolitan: from its scarlet, paprika and gold colour scheme to the chill-out and desert blues notes that accentuate the lounge atmosphere, this latter a perfect place where to enjoy an aperitif or after dinner drink.

The Helevetia & Bristol is a much requested venue for small and medium scale meetings and cultural events held in the city of Florence, with its 3 magnificent function rooms offering a seating capacity for up to 60 participants.
